    There were Pirates?

    With the idea of vehicles including ships, and the rumor floating around of a bit of the game taking place on a ship, would you guys be able to handle Pirates with flintlocks? Or is it still a bad idea?

    Still a bad idea, in my opinion. I only see the mention of ships as a means to be transported between lands, and having no real gameplay. Like traveling between the Nexus and Boletaria. You'll get on the boat, then loading screen, and then bam in a new land. I don't think there will be pirates at all either.

    Single, not to mention slow reload, I I wouldn't mind. Maybe even a matchlock rifle

    Doesn't necessarily have to be a flintlock pistol; could be a magic "Contraption" that shoots crystallized magic or something silly

    It's not completely unreasonable, we do have firebombs after all.
    And I wouldn't mind cannons as an added danger for the next game.

    There were firearms back then but for Dark Souls' combat you'd basically fire at the start then switch to another weapon because you sure as hell aren't going to stick around for the reload.

    Historically accurate pirates are alright; guns just aren't. They just don't fit the series.

    Yeah, they would pretty much be a crossbow on roids in all shapes and forms; high damage, short range, long reload, incredibly loud BANG!

    I wouldn't mind if it wasn't a viable weapon, but I would KILL for a chance to RP a Pirate.

    yeah pirates would hold around 3 loaded pistols for battle, more if they could find places to strap them, once fired they didn't bother with reloading till after the battle, the equivalent in dks would be no reloading till you rest at a bonfire, sort of like the magic system. we've already got shotguns (bead) and homing missiles, the most i can see in this area (especially looking at the tech level in the areas shown to us so far) is explosives, like barrels that enemies will place or light to blow you up, like the red barrels in demons souls.

    All it would need is long reload. Maybe ten seconds (I know their real reload speed is longer but nobody is going to wait one to two minutes to reload a gun in a game). Ten seconds sounds short but that's an eternity in Dark Souls combat. I don't think any action in the game is that long.

    I want them to include assault rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, etc. Maybe even some sci-fi futuristic weapons. Imagine how awesome it'll be to take down a dragon or a hydra using a giant laser cannon. PEW PEW PEW! LASER BEEEEEAMS

    I think its not going to happen. If by any impossible chance they do include guns it would be implemented very well. I'd hope anyways.

    I really wouldn't mind if it had a big drawback or something. Or takes a bit to aim. If it would be done well it wouldn't bother me. I'm looking forward to the inclusion of chariots for enemies. *drool*

    I think the chariot enemy is more or less a part of one NPC/ Boss Character not a whole class of them.

    Pirates could be done, souls has a way of twisting and corrupting things to fit into the sadistic worlds they create.

    Guns I don't think so, in terms of balancing, they'd pretty much be high power, stupid reload time, there wouldn't be any advantage to them except as a cheap shot at the beginning of a boss battle...

    I know. Just the idea of fighting something with one is just awesome. I want more variety in bosses. Gaping Dragon and a few others were cool the first time but after that they just became a cakewalk.

    Okay, the Chinese rocket makes a lot more sense-though that's still very questionable. And may I remind you that the colonial-era pirates were not the only pirates; the very name viking came from a northern word for pirate. Pirates existed in Greece, the Middle East, and virtually everywhere that there has been civilization, with or without firearms. Pirates are just bandits on the open sea, after all. Considering what Norse influence there already is in the games, Viking-like sea raiders seems possible to me.

    But think of the UNDEAD PIRATES!



    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROhsZayay-Q



    Besides, it would be a nice finisher attack in PVP as well.



    And if you think about it, the flow of time in Lordran is distorted, so such an item would technically be findable there.

    Look at Chester; he came from an age that, by his attire, looks to be from a time well beyond our own and HE doesn't have a gun-he's got a repeating crossbow. And while, yes, undead pirates could be AWESOME, guns will just ruin the setting. Heavy armor was made useless and obsolete by the improvement in firearms, and thus the large weapons used to counter heavy armor were no longer necessary; the entire genre and guns just flat-out don't mix. Look at the gear we already know will be in Dark 2; it's nowhere near an are of firearms.
    Aside from the guns, imagine the underwater scene from the first Pirates of the Caribbean. In Souls. If fine-tuned, I think that can turn into something awesome.

    I would like to see Sea battles though, Kraken and stuff



    And Some guy would pop up out of nowhere and say this "Player name Do you Fear Death'a" (Davy Jones) and If player answered Yes, he could make a covenant and get benefits that would be awesome. Or Release the Kraken !!!!


    Would be ridiculous

    Agree with the first part, and kind of agree with the second, although i would die to fire some sort of gun well placed in the souls atmosphere. If that happens, i say yes to guns.
